What
happens when the Gentleman of Rock decides to play dirty?
A drummer for the hottest rock band on the planet, David has a single, powerful weakness: Thea, the band’s publicist and the woman who steals his breath away with her every move.
Only problem is, Thea doesn’t date clients—or musicians. Emotionally scarred by a cheating ex, she’s not about to risk her heart with a man who has groupies buzzing around him like flies. Even if his sexy smile ties her up in knots.
What she doesn’t know is that David is a one-woman man...and he’s madly in love with her. David’s determined to prove he’s worth the risk, and willing to court her, step by exquisite step. Thea’s about to discover just how long and hard this handsome drummer can play.

Excerpt:
Rock Courtship (Book 1.5) A Rock Kiss Novel
“Beer—whatever
you have on tap,” David said to the grizzled bartender and grabbed a stool, his
eye on the rugby game in progress on the TV screen bolted above the bar.
He’d hardly
taken a sip of his beer, the dark liquid bitingly cold, when he felt a presence
at his back. Instincts honed by a childhood in one of the toughest areas of New
York had him focusing on the mirror behind the bar to check out the situation
before he turned. A big, bald, and heavily muscled male with a spiderweb tattoo
on his neck was standing behind and just to the side of David, a smirk on his
pockmarked face.
Belly
heating, David turned with a slight smile. “Problem?”
The bald
man bared his teeth and, laughing, looked to a table to his right. “Hear that,
boys?” he called out to his friends. “The pussy rock star here wants to know if
there’s a problem.”
Laughter
and shouts from that particular table, while the rest of the men in the bar
went quiet. David didn’t move, taking a measure of the players without letting
it show. “Always know your opponent” had been one of the first things his
father had taught him—Vicente Rivera didn’t believe in turning the other cheek;
he believed in teaching his sons how to put bullies on the ground and keep them
there.
“Yeah,
there’s a problem,” the bald guy said, shoving at David’s shoulder. “This is a
real bar for real men. Not pussies.”
Like that,
then. Good. He was in the mood to do
some violence. Lifting his beer, David took a long drink, then slammed it down…
and punched Bald Head in the jaw at the same time that he kicked out with his
foot to connect with the other man’s knee. The jackass went down like a ton of
bricks.
Roaring in
rage, the man’s friends came at David.
He grinned
and started to show them what this “pussy rock star” could do.
It wasn’t
until they’d broken a table and several chairs, and the bartender had called
the cops that David realized Thea would have to deal with the fallout from
this. Fuck, fuck, fuck, he thought as he was shoved into a cell alone, his
erstwhile opponents in the cell opposite. Sliding down the graffiti-marked wall
to the floor, he thought about the phone call the desk sergeant had said he
could make and decided against it.
Fox had
Molly with him—the band’s lead singer had been waiting for his girl to arrive
since the instant Schoolboy Choir set foot in the city. As for Noah and Abe,
they both had their own plans. He knew any one of the three men would drop
those plans in an instant to come to his aid, but since the cops had made it
clear he’d be spending the night in a cell no matter what, why mess up their
plans?
“You do or say anything that’ll hit the media,
you call me. Day or night. I hate surprises—so don’t you dare surprise me.”
Thea had
given that order to all four of them when she’d agreed to act as their
publicist. Her up-front nature and dedication to her job was part of the reason
they’d hired her; Thea was the best and she didn’t take any shit from her
clients. He wasn’t doing himself any favors by not calling her.
Right then,
David couldn’t find it in himself to care. It wasn’t as if she could hurt him
any more than she already had. And Jesus, how long was he going to carry this
torch that was burning him alive? “Fuck, fuck, fuck,” he said aloud, banging
the back of his head against the wall.

My review :
Most of us
know Nalini, by her Psy/Changeling and Guild Hunter series, both of them
paranormal. But, on September 9th, Nalini’s latest book came out.
Rock
Addiction, book 1 of her newest series, Rock Kiss, is a contemporary story
about a member of a rock band and it can be read as a standalone.
Rock
Courtship (Rock Kiss #2) is out TODAY and allow me to
warn you:
This is a
book that will rock your world!
It is
completely different from everything you have ever read from Nalini and yet it
remains so very AMAZING!
The
storyline revolves around the band’s drummer, David, in his attempt to court the band’s PR, Thea.
Not original you might say…..
And here
comes the surprise! He does not use his good looks (though our heroine has a
soft spot for his smile), he does not use his sensuality (at least not much in
the beginning), but what he has as a main weapon is his brains! And he knows
just the way to use it, against her weakest point: her mind.
Now, who
does not appreciate a smart man???? One that knows how to make a woman notice
him???
And then there is Thea, who has been scared from a previous relationship and does not want
to trust a musician. Little does she know, she doesn’t stand a chance against
him.
Both of
them stubborn, both of them looking for stability, caught in the middle of a
very fragile relationship.
And then
the storm comes in! And Nalini unravels the story in a way that has you hanging
on the edge of your seat!!!
It is a 5
star read, with a very clever storyline, hot scenes and a definite re-read for
me!
I am
seriously thinking of forcing my fellow bloggers into reading it!! ~ Kiki

A bad boy
wrapped in a sexy, muscled, grown-up package might be worth a little risk…
Molly
Webster has always followed the rules. After an ugly scandal tore apart her
childhood and made her the focus of the media’s harsh spotlight, she vowed to
live an ordinary life. No fame. No impropriety. No pain. Then she meets Zachary
Fox, a tattooed bad boy rocker with a voice like whiskey and sin, and a touch
that could become an addiction.
A one-night
stand with the hottest rock star on the planet, that’s all it was meant to be…
Fox
promises scorching heat and dangerous pleasure, coaxing Molly to extend their
one-night stand into a one-month fling. After that, he’ll be gone forever, his
life never again intersecting with her own. Sex and sin and sensual indulgence,
all with an expiration date. No ties, no regrets. Too late, Molly realizes it
isn’t only her body that’s become addicted to Fox, but her heart…
